NTA JEE Main Result 2026- Normalisation Process

Because the JEE Main exam is conducted in different sessions and shifts, the level of difficulty also varies, and to deal with this, the authorities use the process of JEE normalisation. NTA releases the normalised JEE Main 2026 scores to indicate the percentage of examinees whose scores are equal to or below the scores of the candidate who scored the highest in that particular session. The formula used for the calculation of NTA scores for the JEE result 2026 session 1 is as follows:

Formula = (100 x number of candidates who appeared in the session with a raw score equal to or less than the candidate) / total number of candidates who appeared in that session

Aspirants may note that the normalised NTA score is not the same as that of the percentage of marks obtained in the JEE test.

The National Testing Agency calculates the scores of JEE Main 2026 for the percentile for individual subjects separately (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) as well as in the combined format using the normalisation formula as shown below.

Understanding NTA Score vs Raw Score

Many aspirants often get confused between raw marks and the NTA score in JEE Main 2026. Raw marks are the actual scores a candidate secures based on the exam’s marking scheme.

Since JEE Main is conducted across multiple shifts, a normalization process is applied to balance differences in difficulty levels, ensuring that all candidates are evaluated fairly regardless of their shift.
